Ningyocho Reflections
Ningyocho is one of the Shitamachi parts of Tokyo. Shitamachi literally means “down town,” but I like
to translate it as an “old part of town. There are shitamchis all over tokyo. Even though they are slowly being rebuilt and gentrified.
As I walked the streets I was fascinated with the window. The way the glass, old and new would reflect bits of reality in its self, and then into my lens. A metaphysical melding of my photographic world with the world that surrounds me.
Look into the glass, and tell me what you see.
